Dynamite.

Here's a rundown of the dynamite end-of-school party Mar had with her friends.

We served pizza - because it's easy. If I was a Napoleon Dynamite purist, we would have had quesadilluhs and tots. (I'm kind of sad I hadn't thought of it earlier... maybe for the NEXT dynamite party we throw.)

Add a little Just Dance and the party's started.

Water balloon fight time. Too bad it was cold and rainy.

Some girls preferred to stay dry in the no-water zone.

Isn't it crazy how it takes hours to fill up water balloons, and only a few minutes to use them all up? The nice thing is these little babies were biodegradable. Seriously, they practically disintegrate within a day or two.

Shi and Chey got into the action, too (and ate lots of pizza, I might add).

By the time the girls came in, they were freezing and wet - ready to go into the nice cool basement and watch Napoleon Dynamite (with a few space heaters that draw so much electricity they blew the fuse twice).

Shilo had mentioned that every party needs pizza, chips, and lots of candy, so I nixed the veggie and fruit tray with fancy dip and went straight for the junk food.

It was still sprinkling outside by the end of the movie, but the girls that were left were determined to
carry on, carry on, carry on.
(You should have done boondoggle, Mar!)

This was a fun, easy party to celebrate the last day of school. Mauri planned it and took care of the entertainment (I think I may actually be DONE with entertaining at kid parties...YAY!)

We're looking forward to a dynamite summer.
This weekend is the first summer team swim meet - I am the volunteer coordinator, so my fingers are crossed that it goes smoothly tomorrow.
Next week is Girls Camp.
The following week is Youth Conference - Bill and I are "Day Leaders."
And the last week of June we are heading to a family campout with the Syddalls.
Did I mention that I'm a working now? It's going to be a BUSY summer.
Like I said, DYNAMITE!
